Robert de Nobili, the notorious Jesuit who masqueraded as a Brahmin, committed fraud by claiming to have discovered what he termed as fifth veda.
Which was showing the entire Indian tradition and culture to be a corrupted subset of Christianity.
In 1774 a French naturalist and explorer named Pierre Sonnerat visited India with a copy of this “ Ezour Vedam”. He put in his personal efforts and actually studied the Indian original Vedas.
He concluded that this document is fake and fraudulent mapping of Vedic spiritual elements on to Christian theology. Adjustments were made to disguise the Christian theology so that one would not be able to recognise the missionary under disguise.
In 1782 the French man declared that “ezour vedam” was a fraud.
To save the embarrassment it was shelved in the archives of Nouvelles Acquisition Francaises under the nondescript name of “Exhibit No 452”.
Max muller made fervent effort to bring it back to further forge his Aryan invasion theory but failed, he did applaud the effort.
Despite the failure the Dravidian Christianity started to call it the original Vedic religion
The success is so evident that in Thirunalveli, Thoothukudi and Kanyakumari the term Vetham is used by even common Hindus to refer to Christianity
Vetha-koil: refers to Church, vetha-puthakam: refers to bible , vetdagama preaching - meets is missionary gathering, vedagama school is bible study classes
Furthering many Vedic terms are used by the missionary to confuse the Hindus , “Dharma Deepika “ is a missionary research journal published by Mylapore Institute of Indigenous studies, an evangelical institution.
In 2000!it published an article projecting Jesus Christ as Prajapathi from purusha hymn of the Rig Veda. Followed by a major evangelical campaign in TN.
The idea was Vedas was a prophecy of Jesus arrival and hence that Christianity is the fulfilment of Vedas.

William Jones did NOT give is the name India or Hindu.
Bharat is the indigenous name of this country.
Bharat etymologically stands for Bha which means light or the act of being enlightened. For example, the name Bhaskara denotes the Sun.
Ratha means “one who is a connoisseur”, “one who relishes”. A beautiful example is the word Rati / Rathi. Rati means a beautiful lady, one who is pleasing, one who is to be appreciated, one who brings Very aptly, Rati, one who bring relish, divinity of desires called Kama.
Bharath thus means “ to relish light”, “to relish enlightenment” and “to relish knowledge”.
In order to understand the term Hindu, Hindustan and India, we need to go back in history a bit. In northwest of India, we have the river called Sindhu Nadi, the Indus River.
The Aryan Invasion Theory further states that Central Asian nomadic tribes came to India in horse drawn chariots.
This view has been challenged by many historians on the basis that, Chariots are not a vehicle of nomads Chariots are used in flat land,
urban areas Chariots are unsuitable for crossing mountains and deserts. Thus the Aryan Invasion Theory, both on dates and mode of travel does not fit with reality.
POLO REVEALS
Lieutenant Joseph Sherer of the British Army,
is listed in history as the father of English Polo for having founded the Silchar Polo Club in 1859.
However, on tracing the history of the formation of the Silchar Polo Club,we learn how the British officers learnt this game from the locals who had been playing it by the name
Dravida is a variation of the Samskrt words dramila, dramira or dramida which mean South India. This again comes from the root Dra, meaning to flow, to move, from which has come Dravyam for liquid, that which flows.
Thread.
It is the same root as for Druid, those who deal with magic potions, liquids, the most famous ones being the Druids of the Gauls, the Celts and so on.
Dravya also stands for metals, that which melt. Dravya therefore also denotes material wealth
which usually comprises of various forms of gold, silver and other precious metals obtained from underground.
Peninsular India is rich in mineral wealth and hence is also aptly called Dravida, a land of rich mineral wealth.
